The Questionnaire for Nonsensitive Positions is which form?

• A. SF 86
• B. SF 85P
• C. SF 85
• D. SF 85C

Answer: (C)

In background investigations, the level of scrutiny matches the job’s sensitivity. For positions that are nonsensitive, the appropriate questionnaire collects essential personal and background information but requires less in-depth detail. This form is specifically designed for non-sensitive roles, making it the standard choice for that category. It’s shorter and less invasive than forms used for higher levels of review, such as those for public trust or national security investigations. The other forms cover more involved checks: a form for national security clearance, a form for public trust positions, and a variant used in certain circumstances. Therefore, the Questionnaire for Nonsensitive Positions is SF 85.
